Abstract excerpt
In the Huh-7.5 hepatoma cell line, replication of the genotype 1a H77 strain of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is attenuated compared to that of the genotype 1b Con1 strain. This study identifies the poorly characterized integral membrane protein, NS4B, as a major determinant for this replication difference. Chimeric H77 subgenomic replicons containing the entire NS4B gene from Con1 in place of the H77 NS4B sequence...
